El Esqueleto de la Señora Morales (1960)

Taxidermist Dr. Pablo Morales (Arturo de Córdova) is making the best of a domestic hell. His frigid, church obsessed wife Gloria (Amparo Rivelles) is revolted by his profession, won't sleep with him and tells her neighbors and the local priest that he drinks to excess and mistreats her. Gloria also falsely accuses Pablo of sleeping with the maid Meche (Rosenda Monteros of The Magnificent Seven). Pablo tries to reason with the spiteful woman but decides that enough is enough when Gloria bruises herself and claims that he has beaten her. What's needed is a perfect crime, and Pablo has the perfect tools in his taxidermy shop -- where he also prepares skeletons for medical purposes.

Written by Luis Alcoriza — who collaborated with Buñuel on several of his Mexican masterpieces, including Él and The Exterminating Angel.

El taxidermista Dr. Pablo Morales (Arturo de Córdova) está sacando lo mejor de un infierno doméstico. Su esposa Gloria (Amparo Rivelles), frígida y obsesionada con la iglesia, está asqueada por su profesión, no quiere acostarse con él y le dice a sus vecinos y al cura local que él bebe en exceso y la maltrata. Gloria también acusa falsamente a Pablo de acostarse con la sirvienta Meche (Rosenda Monteros de Los siete magníficos). Pablo intenta razonar con la mujer rencorosa, pero decide que ya es suficiente cuando Gloria se lastima y afirma que la ha golpeado. Lo que se necesita es un crimen perfecto, y Pablo tiene las herramientas perfectas en su taller de taxidermia, donde también prepara esqueletos con fines médicos.

Escrito por Luis Alcoriza —quien colaboró ​​con Buñuel en varias de sus obras maestras mexicanas, incluidas Él y El ángel exterminador.
